Sen. Klobuchar visits Fabcon during ‘Made in America’ tour The visit coincides with the manufacturing company’s 40th anniversary BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

Join the fun at WinterFest Dec. 1 The annual WinterFest celebration will take place Thursday, Dec. 1 in downtown Savage on 123rd Street. Some of the activities include: 5-8 p.m. Visits and photos with Santa Leo (Break 5:45-6:45 p.m.) 6-8 p.m. Caroling outside The Savage Depot 6:15 p.m. Tree Lighting Ceremony 6:30 p.m. WinterDazzle Parade 6:45-8 p.m. Performances inside Neisen’s Event Center

Sen. Amy Klobuchar made a stop in Savage Monday afternoon at the Fabcon manufacturing plant just off of Highway 13 as part of her “Made in America” economic tour. She requested the visit, along with visits to several other Minnesota businesses, in an effort to better understand the industry and to further her mission of promoting long-term economic growth and job creation. “We really enjoyed her visit,” said Fabcon President and CEO Mike LeJeune. “She was very interested and seemed to have a good understanding of the industry.” Klobuchar asked questions about the history of Fabcon and the precast concrete panels it manufactures, then went on a tour of the facility and learned about Fabcon’s manufacturing process. She also took time to shake hands with several of the workers and asked them about their jobs. After the tour, Klobuchar asked LeJeune, “What would be helpful in Washington?” “Basically, do something. End the gridlock,” LeJeune said. “Almost anything would be better than what we’ve been experiencing. There’s a lot of uncertainty. Building a building is the ultimate expression of confidence and right now people don’t have that confidence.”

Ongoing free activities: Horse-drawn wagon rides, live reindeer, S’mores, apple cider and hot chocolate, live music, kids’ crafts and activities, food vendors, gourmet coffee tasting, Business Expo, scavenger hunt throughout downtown businesses.

Larry Ross, president of B.F. Nelson Corporation, has given money to the city of Savage in the past. But, his check for $100,000 received Friday, Nov. 18, is his largest donation to date. City Administrator Barry Stock announced the donation at the end of the city council meeting on Monday, Nov. 21. “This is not the fi rst time this has happened,” said Mayor Janet Williams. “Mr. Ross has a business in the Savage Business Park and there were a number of years that he donated.” Ross’ fi rst donation to the city of $69,000 arrived in 2003 and was used to purchase a new emergency warning siren, asphalt surface for the skate park, and miscellaneous of f ice fu r nitu re and computer equipment. In December of 2005, he donated $52,000; in January of 2007,

he donated $60,000; and in December of 2007, he donated $50,000. Stock said that Ross told him in 1999 after the fi nal decision was made to move B.F. Nelson, a paper packaging manufacturer, into Savage that once he got his feet on the ground, he wanted to be a supporter of the city. Ross stayed true to his word. “This is the fi rst time it has been anything this large,” said Williams. “These are typically items that have been requested by staff that don’t always make it into the budget, so we’re really appreciative of what he has done.” Stock said Ross is a private individual and Williams added, “He’s someone who doesn’t want a lot of publicity about this.” Ross contacted Stock in October of this year and said he wanted to make a contribution to the city. He requested a list of needs and Stock

Students thank soldiers with ‘Adopt a Hero’ drive BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

Students at Bridges Area Learning Center began giving thanks a little early this holiday season. Last week, the staff and students at the Prior Lake school kicked off their first ever “penny war,” a fundraising competition between second-hour classes. Students collect currency – pennies are worth positive points but all other coins, as well as bills, subtract from a group’s point total, with the goal to have the greatest number of points – with the funds going toward the purchase of portable DVD players for members of the U.S. military who have been wounded in Afghanistan. “They’re all negative by at least 1,000 points,” said Sarah Osojnicki, the social studies teacher behind the fundraiser. “Whoever wins is

probably going to be the highest negative number … I’m getting more dollars and silver coins than pennies.” With $110 already collected, this marks the second year that students at Bridges have collected on behalf of Adopt a Hero, an organization that matches military personnel abroad with people at home who send care packages to the troops. Osojnicki found Adopt a Hero while flipping through a magazine last year and asked a friend and veteran about the group. “He said it was so nice what this program does for the soldiers,” she recalled. Osojnicki knew she couldn’t afford to do the program alone, so she took the idea to her boss, Dave Brown, who is not only the dean of students at Bridges but also an active member of the National Guard, and he told her to go for it. Osojnicki and the rest of the

staff and students collected enough items to send 15 care packages to Afghanistan last year for Eric Chelberg, a Marine working in communication. Among the things the students sent were toiletries, stationery, books and snacks – “anything that wasn’t chocolate,” due to the harshly hot weather. Because Chelberg worked in communication, he was able to connect with the students. Osojnicki was teaching a class on current events and was able to have her students e-mail and chat with Chelberg about what life at war is really like. Chelberg also sent the students photos of his base and what common American things, like Mountain Dew bottles, looked like in Afghanistan. “It helped them want to give him stuff,” Osojnicki said. “At first, it

City will more strictly enforce on-street parking ordinance BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

Last week’s fi rst snowfall of the season may not have had the impact of any one of last year’s blizzards, but it comes with reminders and warnings from local and state officials related to on-street parking and snowplow safety. On-street parking after a snowfall of 2 inches or more is prohibited by city of Savage ordinance until after the street is plowed. In recent years, illegallyparked vehicles were merely ticketed and snowplow drivers worked their way back to the streets to clean up after vehicles were moved. With cutbacks and the city watching every nickel, enforcement efforts are being stepped up.

According to city of Savage Com mu nic ations Ma nager Amy Barnett, if attempts to contact the owner of a vehicle are unsuccessful, the Police Department will arrange for the vehicle to be towed. “Not only is this still a cost in staff time for the city, which equates to taxes, it could cost the vehicle’s owner $ 200 in towing and impound fees,” said Barnett.

OTHER REMINDERS

SNOWPLOW SAFETY

The city of Savage Public Works Department also issued the following snow and ice removal guidelines: I Make sure your mailbox is secure enough to withstand snow being pushed against it by the snowplows. I Keep all fi re hydrants open and accessible in case of emergencies. I Cit y code requi res t h at property owners that have front and side sidewalks clear snow and ice from the walks within 24 hours of a snowfall. School transportation routes require many students to walk to school. I City code makes it unlawful to deposit snow from private driveways and sidewalks into the street.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) recently issued its annual appeal for motorists to “Stay Back – Stay Alive” when snowplows are present on roadways. “Snowplows weigh up to 17 times more than a typical car or SUV, and in a vehicle versus snowplow crash, the snowplow is going to win,” said MnDOT

Fighting an ‘insidious’ disease Savage resident and friend raise pancreatic cancer awareness in the Twin Cities area BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

When most people learn they have pancreatic cancer, they view it as a death sentence, says Pancreatic Cancer Action Network advocacy volunteer Nancy Marian. “It’s devastating,” she said. In October, Marian, of Burnsville, and her friend Kris Howland, a Savage resident, spoke before the Savage City Council as the city proclaimed November to be Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month in Savage. Howland said she lost a close family friend, also named Nancy, to pancreatic cancer three-and-half years ago. “It was an extremely painful process to watch,” said Howland. “She was this person who was so extremely lively, energetic and full of vigor, and it completely sapped her and took her slowly. It was so hard to watch someone we loved so much slip away like that.” Shortly after her friend passed away, Howland met Marian at church. And Marian’s connection to Howland’s family friend went well beyond just their first name: Marian had lost

was hard to get the kids going … We were able to talk to him about all the stuff that was going on with him because it was all current events.” Taking a cue from a former teaching colleague – who provided the penny war idea – Osojnicki hasn’t run into that same roadblock with this year’s fundraising. In fact, she stepped it up a notch. Adopt a Hero was searching for people to adopt entire combat hospitals instead of individual soldiers, and Osojnicki opted in, calling it an opportunity for students “to do something positive and to be part of something positive, because they don’t get the chance.” In addition to collecting money via the penny war, which ended on Tuesday, students and staff are also collecting supplies through January to send to the injured soldiers at the combat hospital. The money from the penny war will go toward the purchase of personal DVD players for recovering soldiers at the combat hospital, many of whom cannot get out of bed

her mother to the disease in 2008, and since then, two of her teenage sons have been diagnosed with rare neuroendocrine tumors on their pancreas, the same type of tumor Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs fought before his death early last month. Marian and Howland said the discrepancy between the amount of federal cancer research dollars dedicated to the cause and the deadliness of the disease is the main reason awareness needs to be brought to the issue. Marian said pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, yet only receives 2 percent of federal cancer research dollars as appropriated by the National Cancer Institute. While other forms of cancer are now boasting improved survival rates after years of research, Marian said pancreatic cancer remains the only cancer tracked by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute that continues to have a fiveyear relative survival rate in the single digits at 6 percent. According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, that survival rate has hardly changed in the last 40 years,

due to injuries. “I wanted to do it again because I think it’s good for the school to all come together,” she said. “I’m shocked by how involved they’re getting in this.” Brown added: “What I’ve been really pleased about is seeing the sense of coming together at the school. Kids feel that they have a place where they are important, kind of like a family atmosphere … Kids are here typically because they haven’t felt connected to a school.” The four groups of students are so motivated that they’re even sabotaging each other, giving opposing teams loads of dollars and silver coins in the hopes of lowering their scores. But that’s not all; six Bridges students signed up to attend Beyond the Yellow Ribbon’s first-ever Military Symposium on Nov. 19 at Twin Oaks Middle School to speak about the penny war and Adopt a Hero. “I was really impressed,” Osojnicki said. “They did such a good job on Saturday.” Senior Derik Fullmer, of Prior Lake, was one of the six students at the symposium. “It was actually a lot of fun,” he said of the event. “It

Get involved Pancreatic Cancer Action Network-Twin Cities www.pancan.org To volunteer, contact Brenda Coleman: bcoleman@ pancanvolunteer.org and in the next 20 years, pancreatic cancer deaths are expected to increase by 55 percent. “Unfortunately there aren’t that many survivors out there to raise their voice, rally for the cause and say that something needs to be done,” said Marian, “so slowly we’re gathering people to say, ‘Hey, this doesn’t seem right.’” The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is supporting a bill, the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act, that they say will ensure that the National Cancer Institute develops a longterm, comprehensive and strategic plan for developing early diagnostics and treatment options that would increase the survival rate for pancreatic cancer patients. The bill has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and the

YOUR END-OF-LIFE WISHES If you have deliberated about what kind of medical treatment you would want if you are at the end of your life and unable to communicate, your wishes may be expressed in an end-of-life directive. One such directive, a “living will,” clearly states the kind of life-sustaining medical treatment(s) you would/would not want if you couldn’t speak for yourself. Documents of this type, which come into play when a person is in a coma or vegetative state, should be in the hands of an attorney or trusted family member or friend. Another directive, known as a “medical power of attorney,” allows a select person to be an agent of the non-responsive person and make decisions about his or her case. Thinking about things like a living will can be uncomfortable or even upsetting. But it’s much better if you take care of these things now, instead of leaving them unresolved until there is a crisis. If you are interested in writing any sort of end-of-life document, including a living will, will, or assigning a medical power of attorney, please contact our ofﬁce at 952-226-1202 to make an appointment.

It’s Black Friday, not Thursday, mind you I’m not much of a shopper … more of a buyer. I don’t spend a lot of time trying to fi nd the best deal; usually when I decide I want something I just go get it. However, I do have a great time wandering around shopping malls (“just looking, thank you”). This is true especially this time of year, and this time of year comes earlier and earlier, both on the calendar and on the clock. I have found from experience, however, that Black Friday is not the day to do casual browsing. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year, is the day that puts stores “in the black” on their ledger sheets. But now, more and more of the major stores are opening for business on Thanksgiving Day. By doing this they hope to get a jump on the season by luring the shoppers in with the promise of before-Christmas bargains (some quantities limited and the stores reserve the right to run out of the item before you get there). Unhappy with this arrangement are the employees of the stores that are open for business on Thanksgiving. They would like to have this time to spend with their families. Imagine. Thomas Lee, a writer for the Star Tribune, recently wrote about this trend in retailing. He quoted executives from three major stores: Macy’s — “People want to shop through the night.” Wal-Mart — “Our customers told us they would rather stay up late to shop than get up early so we’re going to hold special events on Thanksgiving …” Toys ‘R’ Us — “We know our customers like to get an early start on their Black Friday shopping, so we’re … opening our stores at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving night.” Lee goes on to say that he fi nds it difficult to believe that customers are actually demanding that Thanksgiving Day should be a day to commence commerce. But for a moment let’s say that consumers really are insisting on more hours to shop, and since the customer is always right we must do what they say. But why stop there? To satisfy the

growing demands of the customers, I propose that every store, every office (public and private), every school be open every hour of every day (no exceptions). We could solve our economic woes with such a new world order. Everyone who wanted a job would have one as the buildings that never close would need to hire more workers. People would have more money to buy stuff and factories would be running at full production just to keep up with the demand. Of course, there would be no time for anything else. We think nothing of going to a store on Sunday to buy just about anything, but not too many years ago that was quite unusual. In the movie, “That Thing You Do,” set in 1964, Mr. Patterson, the owner of a small store, became quite annoyed while reading a competitor’s advertisement in the newspaper. “Open Saturday 10 to 10. Open Sunday 12 to 6 … open on Sunday from 12 to 6 ! You know, I don’t believe I want to live in a country where you have to stay open on Sunday to do business. You shouldn’t have to work on Sunday to support your family.” That’s right Mr. Patterson, and you shouldn’t have to work on Thanksgiving either. I am going to stay away from the stores on Thanksgiving. I’m not sure about Friday though.

LETTERS FROM READERS THANKSGIVING

Grateful for lifechanging trip to India This year we are grateful for our life-changing trip to India. In February we met the precious 13-year-old girl, Arumuga, that we sponsor through Compassion International. We were greeted by Arumuga, her family, and all of the teachers and leaders at the center with open arms, and we heard how grateful Arumuga’s family was for the love and the training she is receiving at the Compassion Center. Compassion not only provides food for the children, but they also provide an education for a future vocation, releasing them from the grinding cycle of poverty. Next, we traveled with Oasis World Ministries into some more remote villages of India, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, praying for people and their families, and joining in the evening festivals. At these festivals, people were healed from conditions such as lameness, chronic pain and blindness, and they heard for the fi rst time what Jesus did for them on the cross. We defi nitely received a lot during this trip – experiencing the generosity and love from the people of India wherever we went. We noted also with interest that Pastor Thimothi Rao, the Oasis World Ministries India Director, was sponsored as a child through Compassion and now he is pouring out his life for others in his land.

We are grateful for this amazing opportunity to meet the wonderful people of India. It is truly an experience that changed our outlook on life.

POLITICS

Who says eating healthy is hard? Thank you Congressman Kline and senators Klobuchar and Franken. I was worried about trying to maintain my weight and eat healthy food through the holiday season. Now, by law, pizza and French fries are vegetables. Logically then, the vegetable category would also include artichoke dip, deep fried onion rings, zucchini bread, pumpkin pie, corn muffi ns, candy corn, Minnesota wild rice soup and carrot cake (with cream cheese frosting for a bonus dairy serving!) Peanuts come from a plant, so peanut butter must be a vegetable. Since beans are vegetables, cocoa and coffee must count, too. Maple syrup comes from a tree, so obviously that is a vegetable. Fruits aren’t vegetables, but they are good for you, so I can add apple pie, Jell-O salad, blueberry scones, cranberry sauce and pineapple upside-down cake. Grapes are fruits, raisins are good for you, so wine must be a fruit serving. Who says eating healthy has to be difficult?

Learn from past, live in present, plan for future I turned 85 this past October. When you reach 85, you realize that you will never be President of the United States. At 85, you ref lect more on the past than on the future. Looking back, I think of the many significant changes that have occurred over these many years. Here is my top 10 list:

DIVERSITY

Syd

When I grew up in a small town of 20,000 people, we had no African Americans as neighbors. Now our society consists of 40 percent minorities. Marriage between ethnic groups is common. Segregation is becoming a thing of the past.

GROSS

TECHNOLOGY The computer has changed our lives. In the future I anticipate it will be the catalyst for even more improvement in the quality of our lives. I have experienced the transition from the two-party landline to our cell phones of today. The changes in air travel and space exploration are phenomenal.

ATTITUDE ON WAR When I was growing up, war was the preferred method of enforcing foreign policy and resolving international disputes. After the Vietnam War, we have increasingly sought other means of resolving conflict. In the future, war as we know it will be obsolete.

HUMAN RIGHTS We used to treat the mentally ill by segregating them in large hospitals for the insane. The blind and deaf were sent to schools located far from home to be isolated and forgotten. “Gays” were locked in their closets. The disabled had no rights. “Blacks” were not allowed to drink from “white’s” fountains. On the international front we no longer condone regime terrorism. Bullying in schools is no longer tolerated. Increasingly, sexual abuse of children by trusted adults is being brought to the forefront in our churches, schools, youth groups and other organizations.

EDUCATION When I graduated from college, I was the first in my extended family to do so. Now most young people at least attend a two-year college. They are better readers who are more capable of forming ideas. They are more compassionate, more influenced by love and less influenced by sin. TV, for all its faults, has enabled our young people views of the world most of us have never seen.

COMMUNITY VOICES

WOMEN’S RIGHTS One hundred years ago, women were not allowed to vote in America. In many areas of the country, including churches, women were property. Bearing children was their goal. World War II changed all that. Women went to work in the factories. Money gave them the freedom to live their own lives and not their husband’s lives. Contraception was encouraged, family planning became popular and, notwithstanding the opposition of the churches, abortion became an alternative method of birth control and women have been seizing control of their own bodies ever since. We now have women on the Supreme Court and in the board rooms of corporations. We are working toward equal pay. One half of all law school graduates are women. We now see many more women physicians and, even more important, there is an increasing number of women in politics. When that number hits 50 percent, I predict many of our political problems will be solved.

CHURCH When I was young, the church ruled supreme. The priest’s word was law. No one questioned the church’s pronouncements. The credibility of the church nearly collapsed over the issue of priest sexual abuse and hierarchy cover ups. Evolution began to explain many mysteries. The story of creation as depicted in the Book of Genesis, I believe, has proven to be a fictional account of the creation. The church still has a role to play in the development of a moral life, to teach by leading and not by demanding.

POLITICS It used to be that politicians tried to make laws for the common good. Foreign relations were the provenance of the president. We respected the office of the president. President Reagan is the idol of the right wing. I remember him very well. He had tremendous respect for the office. I suspect he

would be ashamed of the right wing’s treatment of our president. I don’t know if the caliber of our representatives has declined. I do know the “do nothing congress” of President Truman’s day was nothing compared to today’s “do nothing congress.” Money and lobbyists have taken control of our legislative process. This is nothing new but it seems much more prevalent now. We must revise of the legislative procedures. Why do we tolerate the current fi libuster rule? Why should we tolerate allowing one senator to put a hold on legislation or appointments?

HEALTH CARE In my experience, there has been no greater development and progress than in the field of health care. As a 14-year-old, I suffered a traumatic hip injury. The anesthetic was chloroform. The next surgery, the anesthetic was ether. The recovery was terrible. Some 21 surgeries later at age 85, I went to sleep, woke up bright and alert, and felt no pain. The improvement has been totally amazing. Births are safer. Total joint replacements are routine. Research into the causes of disease is advancing at a rapid pace. Brain research looks especially productive. People are more aware of health hazards. Smoking is nearing extinction. There is awareness about the dangers of obesity. Challenges still lie ahead. The affordability of health care is still an issue. Some still think health care is a privilege and not a right.

GOVERNMENT A faction of our political society imagines government in a limited role to educate and protect. Since the time of Roosevelt, others have learned that it is necessary to the development of a viable society for government to take a more active role in the regulation of business, the management of commerce and the building of infrastructure. Increasingly, government has had a role in the management of our lives. For good or bad, this role will surely increase. All in all, it has been a great 85 years of progress. I can only imagine what the next 85 years will bring. I would urge everyone to embrace progress, and to stop being so pessimistic and afraid of everything. Quit complaining. Progress is exciting. Learn from the past, live in the present and plan for the future!

FROM THE NEWSPAPER STAFF

Giving without expectation When I arrived at the shelter Tuesday evening, several other volunteers were already scurrying around placing sleeping mats on the floor, cooking dinner and folding blankets for the people who would arrive in less than an hour. For the second season, the lower level of a Minneapolis church is offering shelter to 50 homeless men and women – the “guests” – throughout the winter and into the spring. Groups volunteer each night to prepare meals for the guests and a homeless advocate is on staff to oversee the overnight operation. Last year when the shelter first opened, my best friend and I wound up coordinating all of the volunteers and meal groups – lack of funding didn’t allow for a paid volunteer coordinator. We thoroughly exhausted ourselves as we juggled fulltime jobs, night classes and family. This year, a full-time coordinator was hired and we’ve shifted our focus to a more intentional approach of

spending time with the guests to help them fi nd resources. My personal focus is on listening to the guests rather than trying to fi x them. Too quickly the wheels churn in my head and I imagine a list of tasks that could be completed to help each guest expeditiously overcome homelessness. But it’s more complicated than that. Some of the guests suffer from severe mental illness and don’t have access to the care and medications they need. Some guests have alcohol

and substance abuse addictions and life on the streets has only exacerbated their problems. Many of the guests have jobs and some work full time, but their wages aren’t enough to afford permanent housing. And increasingly, many guests are homeless for the first time after losing a job and subsequently losing their home. They struggle to find work in an economy where hundreds of people apply for each job and the competition is fierce. Out of exhaustion and frustration, and without the resources many of us have to fall back on, some give up all together. I had been away from volunteering for most of the summer while I worked on a writing project, and being back in the presence of so much need and so much help was both devastating and exhilarating. I make the decision to drive from Savage to downtown Minneapolis several times each month not because there aren’t opportunities closer to home, but because the shelter present-

ed itself to my best friend and me somewhat serendipitously and we’ve committed to making a difference there together. I thought about the journey of how the shelter came to be on my drive home Tuesday night, and when I picked up my son from his aunt’s house, he ran into my arms and excitedly asked, “Mommy! Did you help the people who don’t have houses?” My heart nearly leaped from my chest. I recognize that the gift of time I give is valuable to the shelter coordinators and, I hope, is of some benefit to the guests. And the personal reward of heightened awareness is immeasurable for me. But more important than any of those things, I’m serving as a role model for my son who, at the age of 3, is already glimpsing what it means to give without the expectation of getting anything in return.

OURSCHOOLS BURNSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION: ‘BLITHE SPIRIT’

Theater students get supernatural BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

The Burnsville High School Theater Guild’s latest play could easily be called lively, even though at least one of the characters is anything but. “Ironically, it’s a comedy about death,” says Terry Walters, the man occupying the director’s chair for “Blithe Spirit,” the high school’s winter show. “Blithe Spirit” debuts at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 and runs through Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Mraz Center for the Performing Arts at Burnsville High School, 600 East Highway 13 in Burnsville. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students and senior citizens. The play’s title says it all: “Blit he Spi rit ” focuses on Charles Condomine, a novelist haunted by the ghost of his dead wife Elvira and the psychic who brings them together. If the cast members’ demeanors are any indication, the light take on dark subject matter is coming through. Junior Christina Sahli and senior Jillian Klatte, both of Savage, have large roles in “Blithe Spirit” and repeatedly invoked the word “fun” to describe their experiences rehearsing the show. For Sahli, who has acted in multiple productions at the high school, her “Blithe Spirit” incarnation – the animated Madame Arcati, the medium

responsible for the presence of the play’s titular ghost – isn’t that much of a departure. “I usually play weirdo characters,” Sahli says. “You get a lot to do with it.” “Blithe Spirit” is a work by renowned British playwright Noël Coward, who was famous for his wit. As a result, the play – which was written in the ’40s – demands a lot from its cast, which has to muddle through the dated references, Anglo-centric terms and convey higher-level humor without relying on sight gags. “There are a lot of words in this show,” Walters says. “The word is dead on the page and it’s up to the actors to make them come to life. They’re doing a fantastic job.” Walters admits that he made a few “adjustments” to the show to make the text more audience friendly but he has also advised his actors on how to understand the text and deliver it so it will land with audiences. “That’s what we try to get the actors to do – to understand the nuances and exploit them,” he says. “It’s sophisticated stuff and they’re doing it.” Walters notes immediately after, however, that he’s “not above a cheap laugh.” The actors are very aware of the differences in setting and have adjusted their own performances to reflect them. “We all have a character voice we use,” Sahli says. “A sophisticated acting voice …

Bergeron has been in a number of plays but this is his first time as a student director. Luckily, he’d seen a performance of “Blithe Spirit” in Duluth prior to netting the gig. “I thought they did a fantastic job up there so I brought some of what they did here,” he says. “It was very clever and witty … It’s less stock humor.” Klatte, who plays the male protagonist’s second – and alive – wife, said much of the play has been a challenge. Her character is driven to madness as her husband begins to lose it, haunted by the spirit of his dead former spouse.

In “Blithe Spirit,” a novelist is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife Elvira and the psychic who brings them together. Some of the cast members include (left to right) Kayla Graves, Christina Sahli and Jillian Klatte. “I get to start off being so calm and then I transition into angry and mean,” she says. “It’s different. It’s a fun experience … I like having the audience see someone evolve and change.” Because the play relies on some supernatural elements, there’s an inherent extra hurdle for the actors: How do they act against a ghost they can hear and see but their characters cannot?

“It’s really hard because we’re not supposed to be able to hear her but we can hear her,” Klatte says. “It’s kind of like working with a green screen.” “Blithe Spirit” may be set in the ’40s, not an era traditionally known to be a great time for women, but the Klatte and Sahli agree that’s one element of the time period that isn’t reflected in the text. “I think this is the girl power show because me and Elvira

just walk all over [Charles] and he has to take it,” Klatte says. “It’s actually kind of fun.” Despite the otherword ly subject matter, time warp and culture clash, Bergeron made the case that “Blithe Spirit” has entertainment value to spare. “The situations are so crazy and out there extreme that they can’t help but be funny,” he says. “I think that it’s done in a way that anyone can relate to the characters.”

Words may change, but structure remains the same

Take your car search for a spin.

The weekend of Nov. 27 begins the most dramatic changes seen in the Catholic Mass since those that came as a result of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. It should be clearly said what is changing are many of the words used at Mass and not the structure of the Mass itself. Surely these changes will spark great conversation and even for some a debate in the days ahead as people experience them for the first time. These changes are a result of a call by Pope John Paul II prior to the new millennium to update the liturgical book of prayers used at Mass called the Roman Missal. The last update occurred in 1985, and since that time there has been everything from revisions to documents outlining how Mass is to be celebrated, new Eucharistic prayers written, and prayers of newly-canonized saints added. It was the hope of Pope John Paul II that the Third Edition of the Roman Missal be a gift to the church to serve its needs in this new period of history. As the work of producing the updated book was underway, Pope John Paul II also issued new principles of translation. The official language of the Catholic Church is still Latin and as a result all liturgical books are published in Latin. From Latin, the books are then translated into all the various languages known around the world. The new principle of translation was outlined in a document titled, “Liturgiam authenicam,” and called for the principle of formal equivalent as opposed to the principle of dynamic equivalence used previously. The goal of the new principle is that new translation reflect a more precise articulation

Michael

TIX SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

of the faith we profess, that it captures more clearly various scriptural references, and that in the literal translation the new text better reflect the poetic Latin text. In all of this, it is important to remember that while the words used at Mass may change, for example from “cup” to “chalice,” the structure of Mass as we’ve known it does not change. The words we use do make a difference and one clear example is seen in the Nicene Creed used at Mass that has its origins dating back to the year 325. The Creed reflects our core beliefs as God’s chosen people. One of the changes people will experience in the Creed is seen in the very word. Currently we begin by saying, “We believe in one God …” With the new translation, it changes to, “I believe …” The words, “I believe …” occur in the new translation at four different points. The change, as subtle as it is from “We” to “I” is significant and makes a statement. Saying, “I believe…” makes the words we speak much more personal. It becomes more clearly a sense of, “What I’m saying is my belief,” which is very different from “We.” In the new translation one might say it’s less of “going along with the crowd,” and now a greater sense of

personal responsibility for me as an individual to live and own the faith we each profess. It should also be noted that as we profess, “I believe …” with those around us, their remains a unique collective sense of “We” and living together as the Body of Christ for the world. These changes in the Mass occur as we begin the season of Advent. In this four week season we prepare for Christ’s coming at the end of time, as we also remember Christ’s coming among us as the child born in Bethlehem. Given the changes in the words used at Mass, this Advent offers a unique opportunity for us to consider the words we use as a part of our daily lives and whether they are truly reflective of who we are each called to be as the Body of Christ and presence of God’s love in the world. These include the words used in our conversations with and about people whether directly or indirectly through modern means of texting and other forms of social media. One measure of the words we use in conversation might be whether they are honest, true and necessary as opposed to getting caught up in things like gossip or the mean spiritedness we call bullying that seems to dominate headlines today. The season of Advent we begin this weekend calls us to wait in hope. As we wait for the coming of Christ may we realize the importance of words in our lives, and truly use words that reflect something of God’s kingdom that is to come. (Father Michael Tix is a pastor at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage. He is one of several area pastors who write for “Spiritual Reflections,” a weekly column appearing in this newspaper.)

Return to Oz CTC’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ takes the audience back home BY BARBARA TIEBEN btieben@swpub.com

hose who see Children’s Theatre Company’s holiday show, “The Wizard of Oz,” should prepare to be transported – and not just to the Land of Oz. Prepare for a trip back in time. Within minutes of the opening curtain I was once again that 6-year-old with a blanket pulled up to my eyeballs as the tornado roared through my living room. The house, the cow, evil Mrs. Gultch – and the Wicked Witch! – swirled by. And by the time Dorothy’s house thumped down into Munchkinland, I was firmly settled into the year 1963 when I remember taking my first trip to Oz. Artistic Director Peter Rothstein doesn’t miss a delightful nuance from the iconic film as he presents a show that is both familiar and fresh. As the timeless film is so much a part of entertainment history (it was broadcast on television annually from 1959 to 1991), I came to the theater expecting to get reacquainted with my friends Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Accompanied by my grandchildren, I expected to see in their faces the delight, fear and amazement I’d experienced during my first journey to Oz. What I didn’t expect was that I would take a trip into my past. Suddenly I was 6-year-old me cowering behind the couch when the Wicked Witch of the West explodes into Munchkinland. And it came rushing back how horrified I was, year after year, by those striped stockings curling up underneath Dorothy’s house. Truly a show for all ages, my grandchildren, ages 5, 6 and 7, had seen and loved the classic film. During our car ride to the theater they asked if I thought trees would throw apples at Dorothy and how a real-life Wicked Witch could melt away on stage. We talked about theater magic and expected we might be amazed. We were not disappointed. Maeve Coleen Moynihan

What I didn’t expect was that I would take a trip into my past. Suddenly I was 6-year-old me cowering behind the couch when the Wicked Witch of the West explodes into Munchkinland. And it came rushing back how horrified I was, year after year, by those striped stockings curling up underneath Dorothy’s house. delights as Dorothy. A former lullaby league munchkin from CTC’s 2002-2003 production of the show, Moynihan perfectly portrays the Dorothy we know and love. And Toto, too! The audience offers warm chuckles each time Toto makes an entrance. Dean Holt, Max Wojtanowicz and Reed Sigmund shine as Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Rothstein’s staging offers visual cues that complement the script’s early references to brain, heart and courage as the trio portrays farmhands Hunk, Hickory and Zeke. Jennifer Blagen is every bit as dark and evil as she should be as the Wicked Witch of the West. Though many in the audience know the show well enough to recite lines along with the actors, we still are surprised and frightened each time she appears. In an astounding trick of theater magic, Janet Hanson plays both Aunt Em and Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and she nails the contrasting roles. Scenic Designer Scott Bradley and Costume Designer Helen Q. Huang present a Munchkinland and

‘The Wizard of Oz’ Children’s Theatre Company enters the Land of Oz for the third time in its 46-year history. The Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy and Toto, too, travel through the timeless classic. Based on the original 1939 film, this production showcases CTC’s trademark scenic and costume design by Scott Bradley and Helen Huang, marking the Emerald City’s return to the stage.

an Emerald City that are rich and colorful. The poppy field is an enchanting combination of color, texture and motion. The muted tones of the

costumes and set of the Gale farm suggest the classic film’s black and white opening and closing sequences. L. Frank Baum’s 1900

book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” has enjoyed myriad cultural references and reinventions such as “The Wiz,” “Wicked” and even an episode of “Scrubs” titled “My Way Home.” CTC’s production brings us back to the heart of the tale and, like Dorothy’s happy ending, feels like a homecoming.

Back to the Book “The Wizard of Oz” is based on L. Frank Baum’s 1900 book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Baum wrote 13 novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works including “The Magical Monarch of Mo.”

Big Kid’s Sporting Goods now open Big Kid’s Sporting Goods, a new store independentlyowned and run by Savage resident Kevin Vareberg, opened on Monday, Nov. 14. The store is at 14020 Highway 13 next to Rainbow Foods. Vareberg said he started the business because of his lifelong passion for sports and because he felt there was need for a sporting goods store in the area. “As I was looking around, it seemed like there was void here for sporting goods stores,” he said. “You’d have to go to Burnsville or to Shakopee to get to another one. And there’s good sporting goods stores in both of those cities, but I just thought that the combination of being two miles from our house and being in an area that could probably use something like this, it seemed like a no-brainer.” So what’s with the name? Vareberg said his nickname growing up was “Big Kid,” and when he decided to start the business, he and his wife knew they had to include the

near future. However, Vareberg said he hopes the store will eventually be the go-to spot for baseball and softball gear. “I still play a lot of softball, and those sports are what I know best,” he said. Also, don’t be surprised if you see Reggie, Vareberg’s 9 -year-old golden retriever, roaming around the store. Vareberg calls him their “FourLegged Director of Marketing.” The store is open 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday t h rough Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. of Sundays.

Fabcon’s sales are up this year about 20 percent over last year, “which is still not half of what they were in 2007,” said LeJeune. “But we’re proud that we were able to take that big of a hit and keep going.” Klobuchar said that Fabcon is a great example of a business that has been able to weather the economic storm. “It’s a tribute to their leadership that they got through this downturn,” she said. LeJeune said that Fabcon is keeping its focus on future growth, specifically with its new Sentry-Cast concrete fencing product that features a stone pattern on both sides. “You can see it out in front of our building,” said LeJeune. “We’re now certified with the state of Minnesota and we’re trying to replace the ugly wood panels you see along highways.” When Klobuchar saw one of the panels, she remarked how much less maintenance the panels would likely require than the wood panels, and she asked LeJeune how she could help. “Wel l, i f you’ve got a ny friends at the Met Council …” he said with a laugh.

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW … It’s likely many area residents have driven by Fabcon and rarely wondered what is happening inside the building. One of the things residents might not know, LeJeune said, is that Fabcon’s biggest customer right now is Wal-Mart. “They’re making a big push

L e Jeu ne said he t hi n ks Klobuchar made the request to tour Fabcon because the company has received “a fair amount of press” recently for its VersaCore+Green panels that contain as much as 58 percent recycled content. “They’re the lightest, strongest and most insulated product in the country, probably the world,” said LeJeune.

Former Blaze ends career at nationals

PL eager to take the next step BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake boys hockey program earned some welldeserved respect last year. The season the Lakers are expecting to make an even bigger leap toward elite status. “We are expecting to have a very good season,” said thirdyear Lakers coach Joe Pankratz. “We have a really good group back. We improved so much in the second half of last season. The expectations have been raised significantly.” What kind of leap can the Lakers expect from last season where they went 9-14-4 overall and won their first-ever section quarterfinal game since becoming a Class 2A program? Can the Lakers compete for a South Suburban Conference (SSC) title? Can they compete for a Section 2AA crown? Pankratz thinks so. The Lakers beat Holy Angels 4-3 last year in the section quarterfinals before falling to Edina 5-0 in the semifinals. Prior Lake was 0-20 versus Holy Angels dating back to 2001 when the two teams played twice a year in the Missota Conference. In fact, the Stars had won the previous 10 games by a combined margin of 74-5. “We’ll remember last year

It was a step up. We’d never been there before.” The Lakers return six of their top seven scorers, three defensemen and their No. 1 goalie. Senior forward Matt Crist led the Lakers last year with 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists). Senior Kyle Krueger led the defense with 10 goals and 15 assists. Senior Thomas Vidmar (5 goals, 14 assists) and senior Tim Mueller (7 goals, 9 assists) will also provide scoring punch, along with junior Austin Hill (7 goals, 6 assists), seniors Derek Johnson and Matthew Gabbard and junior Dylan Zins. Ju nior Joey K leven and

sophomore Connor Bump return to join Krueger on defense. Pankratz said not only does his team have good speed, but it has size. All five of the Lakers’ defensemen are over six feet. “These kids really dedicated themselves in the offseason,” said Pankratz. “We’re stronger and bigger. We’re more confident.” The Lakers might also have one of the top goalies in the conference in senior Kyle Miller. He had 14 games of 30 -plus saves last year, finishing with a 3.87 goals-against average with one shutout. “Kyle looks solid,” said Pankratz. “He also really dedicated himself in the offseason. He’s strong mentally, which goalies need to be.” Prior Lake started last season 2-8-1. It lost at Burnsville 12-0. It lost at Eagan 9-1. It lost to Bloomington Jefferson 6-2. It lost at Apple Valley 7-0. But the second time through the conference schedule, the

Lakers made big strides. They beat Jefferson (4-2), took Burnsville to overtime losing 3-2 and played Eagan (3-1) and Apple Valley (3-0) much tougher. Prior Lake finished with 5-11-2 record in its fi rst season in the SSC. Pankratz said Eagan is the con ference favorite, whi le Burnsville will be strong again. After that, he feels it’s pretty open with Lakeville South and Bloomington Jefferson also having strong teams. “We definitely feel we can be in the upper half of the conference,” said Pankratz. “It’s really competitive. We took our lumps last year early, but we improved and we competed. Our goals are much bigger now.” The Lakers will open the season Thursday, Dec. 1 at Woodbu r y in a non-leag ue game at 7 p.m. Prior Lake opens the conference season Dec. 10 at Lakeville North.

rotation. Juniors Chris Mallon and Nic Anderson will vie for the starting goalie job. Kivihalme said he’ll likely rotate both early in the season. Mallon had three shutouts in six games on the junior varsity last year,

while Anderson had two shutouts in six games. T he Blaze wi l l open the season Thursday, Dec. 1 at Minnetonka. Burnsville’s home opener is Saturday, Dec. 3 versus Hill-Murray. Both games start at 7 p.m.

Senior Alyssa Sybilrud saw her Division III cross-country career end Nov. 19 competing in her fourth straight National Championships. The 2008 Burnsville graduate has helped the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s women’s program become a Division III national power. Sybilrud’s final career race wasn’t her best. She fi nished 127th on the 6,000-meter course at Lake Breeze Golf Club in Winneconne, Wis. with a time of 22 minutes, 29.81 seconds. Alyssa The Blugold ended up 17th out of 32 schools Sybilrud in the team standings. As a sophomore Sybilrud was the Blugold’s top fi nisher at the national meet helping her team win the crown. She finished 21st. It was the program’s fi rst-ever Division III title. As a junior, Sybilrud helped the Blugold fi nish fourth at nationals, fi nishing 23rd overall to earn All-American honors for the second straight year. In her fi rst college season in 2008, Sybilrud was named the team’s most valuable freshman. She ended up 99th at nationals. Sybilrud was also big part of the Burnsville girls cross country team’s success in her days there, helping the team win the Class AA state title in 2007.

The Burnsville boys hockey team has established itself as one of the state’s top programs. The Blaze just hasn’t been able to break down the state door in recent years. Coach Janne Kivihalme led the Blaze to the Class AA state tournament in his first season as coach in 2007. Since then, Burnsville has lost twice in the section semifinals and twice in the title game. Last year, Edina denied the Blaze a state berth with 3-2 win in the section final. Burnsville finished 19-5-4, including winning the first-ever South Suburban Conference (SSC) title with a 15-1-2 mark.

The Waterloo Black Hawks of Iowa made him the 30th selection overall. Kivihalme said playing in the Elite League is a little different than playing varsity hockey. And as good as Sheehy can be, there will be an adjustment period. “It is different brand of hockey,” said Kivihalme. “(The Elite League) is more up and down and there’s less focus on structure.

Notermann will lead young PL

Blaze senior named SSC’s top lineman

The Prior Lake gymnastics team is hoping for a healthier, more productive season. The Lakers were beset by injuries last year and they took their toll late in the season. “We have a very strong core returning,” said Lakers coach Barb Kass. “We need to work on improving our difficulty and cleaning up (our routines). We should have a great varsity lineup on all four events. However, much of our junior varsity is new to gymnastics, so we will be working on a lot of basics.” Last season, P rior Lake had 24 underclassmen on its 26-person roster. Kass said the team lost a few gymnasts to cheerleading, so there will be some new faces. Senior Sydney Notermann is not one of them. She’s the Lakers top returner, just missing qualifying for state on the balance beam last year at the Section 2AA meet. The top four qualify and Notermann fi nished fi fth with a score of 9.15, which was .15 from fourth place. Notermann qualified for state on the balance beam as a sophomore, fi nishing 30th. Notermann ended up 14th in the all-around at sections last year. She will be looking to move up this year. “If Sydney can stay healthy, she has a great chance as an all-arounder,” said Kass. Junior Bridgett Smith and sophomore Angela Noer will also be ones to watch, along with seventh-grader Kailey Dobransky, a newcomer to the team who has competed at the club level. “Kailey is a very talented gymnasts and I’m excited to see how she does,” said Kass. Meanwhile, Section 2A A also got a facelift. Out is perennial power Eden Prairie, but in comes another traditional power in Lakeville North. Bloomington Jefferson also remains in the section. Other teams include: Apple Valley, Eastview, Lakeville South, Chanhassen and Bloomington Kennedy. “The new section will be tough for us,” said Kass. “We

Chase Roullier dominated the trenches in the South Suburban Conference this past fall with his bulked up 6-foot5-inch, 300-pound frame. And his dominance didn’t go unnoticed. The Burnsville senior was recently named South Suburb a n C on fer ence Lineman of the Year. R o u l l i e r, a three -year starter on the Blaze’s offensive line, was also named Chase Academic AllRoullier State, as well as being named to the Star Tribune’s All-Metro fi rst team on the offensive line. Injuries caught up to the Blaze this season as the team struggled to a 2-7 record under fi rst-year coach Tyler Krebs. Roullier played both ways, also dominating in the defensive trenches. Rou l lier hasn’t picked a college yet, but reports have numerous mid-level Division I programs vying for his services. According to ESPN Football Recruiting, Akron, Northern Iowa and Toledo are recruiting him. The ESPN Football Recruiting scouting report on Roullier reads: “Roullier is effective at the offensive tackle spot as a run blocker; once he gets his hands on opponents his playing strength takes over allowing him to dominate opponents. Although he is productive at tackle we feel his size and athleticism are better suited for the offensive guard position at the college level.” Roullier started to make a name for himself in June of 2010. He stood out at the National Underclassmen Combine (NUC) Elite 100 Football Combine in Indiana. He was named the overall most valuable player for his age group. That earned him an invite to the NUC’s Top Prospect Camp in Norman, Okla. a month later where he competed with the top 15 high school offensive linemen in the country at his grade level.

The Burnsville girls swimming team was able to snag one medal at the Class AA state meet Nov. 19 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. That went to eighth-grader Angela Le, who was making her fi rst-ever state appearance. Le was the only Blaze to compete in the fi nal heat (top eight), finishing seventh in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.97 seconds. Burnsville ended up 16th in the team standings with 45 points. Edina rolled to the team crown with 316 points, well ahead of runner-up Minnetonka (188) and third-place Stillwater (171). Le, senior Teresa DiGregorio and junior Anna Elling each competed in two individual events and were each part of two relays, along with sophomore Alexis Dobrzynski. Elling had a tough state meet time-wise. She was seeded fourth in both of her events, but ended up 15th in the 200 individual medley (2:11.38) and 13th in the 100 butterfly (58.81). El ling was making her fourth appearance at state in an individual event and third row in competing in two. She

The Prior Lake girls swimming team relied on its relays in the fi nals of the Class AA state swim meet Nov. 19. Three swims, three new school records; and the Lakers were in uncharted waters, fi nishing in the top 10 in the team standings for the first time ever as a Class 2A program. Prior Lake had two relays in the top seven and junior Alex Yaeger had yet another top-five fi nish in the 100-yard butterfly at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. The Lakers ended up ninth in the team standings with 105 points. Edina won the title in dominating fashion winning with 316 points, well ahead of runner-up Minnetonka (188). Stillwater was third (171). “In the past, the girls had a goal of simply making it to state,” said Lakers coach Katie Haycraft. “But this year, with the amount of talent on the team, we wanted to go there and make a name for ourselves.” Yaeger fi nished fourth in the butterfly with a time of 56.87 seconds.

Blazettes start season strong The Burnsville dance team is off a strong start, winning its first two high kick/precision competitions of the season. The Blazettes won the first South Suburban Conference meet of the year Nov. 22 at Lakeville South, while defending Class AAA state champion Eastview took second. “It was an exciting evening for us,” said Blazettes coach Anna Lardy. The Blazettes also had an exciting afternoon in its own invitational Nov. 19 to open their competition season. Burnsville owned the top high-kick performance among the Class AAA schools with Eagan taking second, Shakopee third and Champlin Park fourth. The Blazettes, led by senior captains Katherine Kashevatsky, Alex Pearson and Lexi Wahl, are steeped in tradition, winning 10 high kick/precision state titles in their history. But last winter was the first season the Blazettes didn’t qualify for state in high kick in their 35-year history. Along with 10 state titles, the program has finished second at state 10 times and third three times. Overall, the program has 33 top-six finishes, so the Blazetttes will be on a mission to get back to state this season. Burnsville’s next conference meet is set for Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Prior Lake at 7:15 p.m. It’s another high-kick event.

Girls hockey: Blaze starts 0-3 It’s been a tough start for the Burnsville girls hockey team. The Blaze fell to 0-3 on the season, losing its first South Suburban Conference game in overtime Nov. 22. Apple Valley scored 2:12 into the extra session for a 3-2 win. A winless start is not the way the Blaze hoped to start the season following last year’s 11-13 campaign, which was the first losing season in the program’s history. Burnsville lost its home opener 2-1 to Hastings Nov. 19 and also fell 5-0 at No. 1-ranked Minnetonka. A gai nst Apple Va l ley, senior Allie Waters scored unassisted with 2:19 left to play to send the game into overtime. Burnsville led 1-0 after the first period, getting a goal from sophomore Briita Nelson with sophomore Lindsey Coleman getting the assist. Apple Valley was able to take a 2-1 lead with a pair of goals in the second period. Those came 40 seconds apart. Ninth-grader goalie Madison Scher t ler made her second start for the Blaze and finished with 21 saves. Burnsville outshot the Eagles 37-24. In the loss to Hastings, eighth-grader Lauren Bench made her first-career start in net making 28 saves. Hastings led 2-0 before the Blaze final got on the board in the third period. Junior Alaina Blair tallied with junior Karis Volk and sophomore Emma Wittchow each getting assists. The Blaze is trying for its first win today (Saturday) Nov. 26 in a non-conference game at Park of Cottage Grove.

Plenty of expectations Blaze looks to make much bigger impact

Lakers eager to show what they can do

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Burnsville girls basketball team has had some issues with knee ligaments. Three have been torn over the last year – seniors Lateeka Thompson and Danielle Donchetz and junior Kate Griffi n. The good news for the Blaze is Thompson is back and so is Griffin. However, Donchetz won’t be as she was lost for the season. The Blaze will miss her scrappy play and defense. But Griffi n looks to provide that, while Thompson is expected to lead the Blaze from her spot at point guard. Burnsville coach Steve Ray said Griffi n was the Blaze’s top junior varsity player last year before getting hurt. Thompson didn’t play a minute for the Blaze a year ago, after establishing herself in her fi rst varsity season as a sophomore. “We really missed Lateeka last year,” said Ray. “She’s physical ly strong. She can score. She runs the point. She’s a coach of the floor.” Burnsville struggled to a 7-20 season last year (4-14 in the South Suburban Conference), the program’s third losing season in the last four years. With Thompson back, along wit h senior g ua rd Jessic a Ranke and senior forward Jessica Buck, the Blaze should be able to rebound. The 6 -foot-1-inch Buck is long and athletic, who score inside and out, block shots and run the floor. Ray said she’ll play Division II next year at Jamestown College in North Dakota. “Buck is very athletic in the post,” said Ray. “She can score with a back to the back and facing it and she’s excellent in transition. “Ranke has increased her point production every year and she’s a defensive stopper,” added Ray. Ranke averaged 11.5 points per game last year, while Buck averaged 9.2 points. Sophomore Georgi Donchetz is also back for the Blaze in the front court, while sophomore Sam Connolly will be one to watch as a scorer. Ray is also excited about two 6-foot-3-inch post players who will help fi ll the paint – seniors Betsy Sexton and Reilyn Powell, along with ninth-grade guard Katrina Mogren, who Ray said is very athletic and

The Prior Lake girls basketball team may not be the deepest or most talented team in the state. But nobody is going to outwork the Lakers. No team will compete harder. “We bring our lunch pail to every game,” said third-year Lakers coach Mike Gidley. “If you play us, you better bring yours. Our kids are resilient and hard-working and they always compete hard.” The Lakers have won 36 games in Gidley’s first two seasons, including a 15-12 mark last year (12-6 in the South Suburban Conference). Prior Lake struggled out of the gate a year ago, losing seven of its fi rst nine games. There were two main reasons for the slow start – the Lakers’ tough schedule and injuries. Senior Molly Simpkins tore a knee ligament in the Lakers’ third game and missed the rest of the season. “It took us some to get used to playing without Molly,” said Gildey. “Her toughness and intangibles were invaluable to the team. It’s not easy to replace that.” Prior Lake was able to recover, winning 12 of 14 to start the New Year. The Lakers were stopped in the Section 2AAAA quarterfinals, losing at Bloomington Kennedy 57-50. Prior Lake lost three starters from last year, including Megan Pold, who left as the program’s all-team leading rebounder (1,067) and fi fth leading scorer (1,087). Junior forward Tif faney Flaata will become the go-to player inside for the Lakers. She averaged 8.2 points and 5.2 rebounds last year. Senior Alyssa Eschrich will also need to step up on the inside. She can knock down the three (27 of them last year), but Gidley said she’ll need to rebound more this winter. “Tiffaney played on an elite AAU team this past summer and that helped with her speed and skill,” said Gidley. “She’s more confident. She can be a bigtime player. She’s already getting attention from colleges. “It’s her time now,” added Gidley. Eschrich averaged 5.6 points in her third varsity season. Gidley said Eschrich looks more confident and eager to have a

will defi nitely get minutes off the bench. “This is the most athletic team I’ve had,” said Ray. “We are going to press and pressure teams up and down the floor. We have some good shooters, but our focus is one defense. We need to stop teams.” Ray said the team has also committed itself to the weight room, partly due to its injuries woes over the last couple seasons. “We have to get stronger,” said Ray. “We feel we will be able to compete with any team. We feel we’ll be right there at the end competing for a section title.” Section 3AAAA has been st rong over t he yea rs, led perennial power Lakevil le North, third at state a year go after winning the title in 2010. But the Panthers were moved to Section 1AAAA this year. This year’s 3AAAA field also includes: Apple Valley, Eastview, Eagan, East Ridge, Henry Sibley, Park of Cottage Grove and Rosemount. “Lakeville North intimated a lot of teams,” said Ray. “With them out, it’s a little easier road, but it’s still a tough section.” Burnsville opens the season Thursday, Dec. 1 at home versus Wayzata at 7:15 p.m. The Blaze’s fi rst road game is Dec. 8 at Marantha Christian Academy at 7 p.m. The conference opener is Dec. 16 at Prior Lake at 7:15 p.m.

“We bring our lunch pail to every game.” Mike Gidley Lakers coach bigger role. “Alyssa has come in with a different attitude,” said Gidley. “She works very hard. She can shoot. There’s no doubt about that. I think her confidence has grown. She’s become more of a leader.” Junior Deanna Busse and senior Lauren Busse will also have expanded roles in the backcourt alongside Simpkins. “The key for us will be staying healthy,” said Gidley. “If we stay healthy, we’ll keep getting better. We’ll have some younger kids up from the junior varsity who will get significant minutes. We hope to play eight to 10 kids.” Prior Lake also plays a tough non-conference schedule, which includes Minnetonka, White Bear Lake, Class 3A power New Prague, Eden Prairie (state runner-up last year) and defending Class 4A state champion Hopkins. The Lakers will face Hopkins in the fi rst round of the Dick Sporting Good’s Holiday Classic Dec. 28. “We take on all-comers,” said Gidley. “We want to play the best teams in the state. That’s how we like to do it. That’s how you get better. “And our conference is very tough; there are no easy games in our league,” added Gidley. The Lakers open the season on the road Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Minnetonka at 7 p.m. Prior Lake plays at White Bear Lake Friday Dec. 2, before facing Eden Prairie in its home opener Dec. 8.

I think that was one of the best swims she’s had all season.” All three of the Lakers’ relays set new school records at the Section 2AA meet Nov. 11. And then they broke them again in the state fi nals. Yeager, junior Elizabeth H a r tel l a nd sophomores Monica Banasikowski and Taylor Dessler teamed up in the 200 medley relay and finished third with a time of 1:47.54.

OURSCHOOLS PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT

Board OKs additional staﬀ Positions added to elementary, middle and high schools

BOOGEYING WITH GRANDPARENTS

Breakdown On Monday, Nov. 14, the Prior Lake-Savage Area School Board approved elementary, middle and high school level staff additions in response to increased class sizes. The changes will be in effect for the rest of the current school year. Here’s where the changes will be felt:

BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

Breathing room is on the way for some students in the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District. At the Monday, Nov. 14 regular meeting, the District 719 School Board approved staff additions at the elementary, middle and high schools to alleviate crowded classes. The vote came on the fi rst day of the district’s second quarter. According to the numbers reported to the state in October, District 719 added 138 students this year – with enrollment leaps coming at the middle and high schools. Those gains, combined with the fi rst year of the district’s six-period secondary schedule, led to some classrooms beginning to resemble sardine cans. “In the transition to the sixperiod day and those higher class sizes, we really did need to look this year, starting quarter two, and then subsequently to three and four, about what we could do to address some of those very high class sizes,” said Jeff Holmberg, director of curriculum, instruction and assessment. With sections peaking at over 26 students for the elementary schools and classes as large as 40 at Prior Lake High School, class size has grown

.3 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers at Glendale and Jeffers Pond elementary schools, to provide additional writing instruction

I One kindergarten paraprofessional at Five Hawks Elementary School I .35 FTE instructors for the second quarter and .75 FTE instructors at the middle-school level. Sections of English, physical education, health, Spanish, geography, art, business and band will be added. I .35 FTE teachers at Prior Lake High School for the second semester. Supplemental sections of English, essentials English and biology will be offered.

and become a real concern in District 719 buildings. All of the staff additions will be in place throughout the remainder of the 2011-12 school year. In May, the School Board laid off 16 teachers and placed another nine on unrequested leave, a decision driven in large part by student registration.

FINANCES District 719 is utilizing two different sources to fund the supplementary positions. All staffing additions that begin in the second quarter – the elementary instructors and para as well as the .35 FTE at the middle schools – are all being funded with dollars from Superintendent Sue Ann Gruver’s $100,000 contingency fund. Those dollars have been

used throughout the year to address staffi ng hotspots and about $35,000 of the fund’s remaining $43,000 has been put toward these positions. That leaves just shy of $8,000 left in Gruver’s contingency and those dollars will be used, alongside additional state aid the district received due to increased enrollment, to fund the second semester staff additions: .75 FTE at the middle schools and the .35 FTE at the high school. The total price tag for those positions is just over $24,000. Julie Cink, director of business affairs, said the district will end up receiving about $200,000 for increased student enrollment and aside from the money being used for the staff additions, the rest of those dollars have not yet been allocated.

Students from Harriet Bishop Elementary School in Savage and their grandparents filled the school’s gym for a good ol’ fashioned hoedown as part of the school’s Grandparents Day on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The kids and their grandparents participated in a series of choreographed dance numbers, including some line dances. Later, the grandparents joined their young ones in the classroom for activities including a sit-down interview so the kids could learn more about their family histories.

BRIEF

District 191 receives ‘clean’ audit report The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board received and approved a “clean” fi nancial audit report for fiscal year 2010-2011 during their Nov. 17 meeting. A “clean” report is the best possible opinion that can be given to a school district. The report was presented by

Dennis Hoogeveen of LarsonAllen, the fi rm that conducted the audit. “I’m glad to say that no compliance issues were noted as part of our review,” said Hoogeveen. While Hoogeveen said the district’s unassigned general fund balance is on the low end of what his fi rm has been seeing from other metro-area school districts, he commended the district for its actual expenditures matching what

was projected for the year. Business Services Director Lisa Rider said she was pleased with the report. “I’m very excited about the results of this audit. I think it affi rms our position fi nancially as we move forward into some very difficult times and continue working through how we manage revenues that will not be as they have been in the last three years.” Alex Hall

‘Mixed emotions’ for family of Liz Neuman BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

The man held responsible by a Nevada jury for the deaths of three people – including a Prior Lake woman – will serve two years in prison for negligent homicide. James Arthur Ray received three two-year prison terms that Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Warren Darrow ordered to be served concurrently, meaning he will serve a total of two years in prison. He was immediately taken into custody after the sentencing on Nov. 18 in Camp Verde, Ariz. Ray also was ordered to pay $57,000 in restitution. The self-help author led a sweat lodge ceremony on Oct. 8, 2009 during his “Spiritual Warrior” retreat in Sedona, Ariz.

Three people died as a result responsibility for the deaths. of the ceremony, and 18 others Participants in Ray’s seminars were hospitalized with varying paid as much as $10,000 to attend medical conditions when med- his events, in which he encourics arrived at aged people the scene.

“We just hope that family and friends of those still loyal to Mr. Ray will intervene before they, too, fall victim to his arrogance and greed.”

Andrea Puckett, Liz Neuman’s daughter, said she still believes Ray is “a dangerous man whose desire for money and power cloud his judgment and result in harm to others.” Puckett said her family is pleased Ray will serve time in prison, but disappointed that the judge allowed Ray’s prison terms to be served concurrently. “Overall, my family has very mixed emotions about James Ray’s sentence,” Puckett said. “It is very frustrating as a victim to see how many rights a convicted criminal has and how few we had throughout the process.” But Puckett, of Bloomington, said the family has found some relief knowing that Ray won’t be able to continue his business ventures until he’s out of prison. “We just hope that family and friends of those still loyal to Mr. Ray will intervene before they, too, fall victim to his arrogance and greed,” she said.

Man found with heroin, cocaine, shotgun in his truck BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

A m a n f rom Bu r n svi l le could be facing substantial prison time after police found heroin, cocaine, marijuana and an unregistered shotgun in his truck on Nov. 6. Tyler Michael Howie Ross, 2 2 , is cha rged wit h t hi rddegree drug possession and fi fth-degree drug possession, both felonies, as well as illegal weapon possession and driving after revocation. According to the complaint, an officer was responding to a residential burglary alarm in

the 8600 block of Carriage Hill Court in Savage, which is a cul-de-sac, when he saw Ross’ black Dodge Ram parked diagonally at a stop sign. The offi- Tyler Michael cer noted that Howie Ross Ross “was in a position to watch the houses in the cul-de-sac.” When another squad car arrived, Ross turned right into the cul-de-sac at which point he was pu l led over.

When the officer approached Ross’ truck, he detected an odor of ma rijua na comi ng from the vehicle. Ross initially denied having marijuana in the vehicle before admitting to having a “little bag” on him. The officer learned Ross was driving on a suspended license and arrested him, and the truck was taken to the impound lot. While performing a routine inventory search of the vehicle, police found a pink balloon containing 3.8 grams of a hard, brown substance that later tested positive for heroin, a clear vile with a white, pow-

dery substance that tested positive for cocaine, a clear plastic bag with 1.5 grams of marijuana, two hypodermic needles with blood inside and a Browning double-barrel shotgun. Ross admitted to police that all the items in the car belonged to him. B e c au s e Ro s s wa s c on victed of fifth-degree drug possession in 2009, he is facing a mandatory minimum t wo -yea r sentenc e for t he t hi rd- deg ree d r ug possession charge and a mandatory minimum six month sentence for the fi fth-degree drug possession charge.

Police: Man was drunk when he caused crash BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

Police say a Bloomington man was drunk when he caused a three-car crash on County Road 27 in Credit River Township on Nov. 14. Witnesses say the man swerved into oncoming traffic and struck a vehicle head-on. Michael Richard Curtis, 41, is charged with criminal vehicular operation, DWI and an open bottle violation in relation to the crash. According to the complaint, officers received a call just before 6:30 p.m. about a possible drunk driver in a black truck weaving all over the road on

County Road 21. They were told the man had just turned nor t hbou nd onto Cou nty Road 27. Eight minutes later, pol ic e le a r ne d of a threeMichael car crash on Richard Curtis County Road 27. Police found one vehicle in a ditch, and the driver of that vehicle sustained cuts to his face. The man told police he was driving south on County Road 27 when a black truck going north swerved into his lane. The man said he tried to avoid

the collision but could not. After being hit by the truck, his vehicle spun out, hit a mailbox and collided with the vehicle that was driving behind him. The driver of the second vehicle said she saw Curtis’ truck cross over the center line and three-quarters into the southbound lane before colliding with the fi rst vehicle. When an officer spoke with Curtis, who had stopped at the intersection of County Road 27 and 160th Street, the officer observed that Curtis had bloodshot and watery eyes and was slurring his speech. An odor of alcohol was also coming from the vehicle, and the officer found two open bottles of vodka

in the truck. Curtis took a preliminary breath test in which he registered a .12 blood alcohol content (BAC). Authorities are awaiting the results of a blood test for Curtis’ official blood alcohol content. Curtis later told officers that he screwed up and knew he was guilty. He said that shortly before the crash he knew he was lost and was thinking about pulling over. Curtis said he knew he hit something, but didn’t realize it was a car. The next thing he remembered, he said, was someone asking him if he was OK. Curtis’ fi rst appearance in Scott County District Court is scheduled for Dec. 12.

According to the complaint, an of f icer saw t he vehicle slightly overshoot a stop sign on South Park Drive and decided to run its license plate. The plates came back as stolen. After losing the vehicle for a short period of time, the officer located it on 144th Street where it stopped it the middle of the road, facing the officer, then slowly pulled into a driveway. The officer approached the vehicle, and when the driver, Stanley, began to get out, the officer ordered Stanley and Svoboda to the ground at gunpoint. Both were taken into custody. During a search of Svoboda, an officer found a glass pipe that was believed to be used

for methamphetamine. Svoboda admitted to smoking meth earlier that day. The officer also found another woman’s Minnesota driver’s license on Svoboda. Inside the vehicle, the officers found a towel containing tools and an envelope on the dashboard that appeared to be intentionally placed there to cover the car’s vehicle identification number (VIN). Upon running the VIN, the officers learned that the car had been reported stolen by the St. Cloud Police Department. Stanley told police that he bought the car from a man he met at an AA meeting in St. Cloud. He said he bought it for $2,000 and agreed to pay the

man $2,000 a month as well. Stanley said he did not have the car’s title and that the bill of sale was at his girlfriend’s home. Stanley admitted to police that he stole the license plates that were on the car because there were none when he bought the car from the man. St. Cloud police said the car had been stolen from a dealership between noon on Oct. 29 and 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 30. Both Stanley and Svoboda face up to five years in prison if convicted on the charges of receiving stolen property. St a n ley a nd Svoboda bot h have omnibus hearings set for Nov. 29. Alex Hall

The statewide grant total exceeds $2 million. The Savage Fire Department will receive $3,972. The grant amounts for other area departments include $4,175.85 for Prior Lake, $4,379.55 for Shakopee, $4,175.85 for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community, and $3,462.90 for Jordan. “These grants benefit the public safety of all Minnesotans,” said Bruce West, executive director of MBFTE. “Assuring annual firefighter training is good for departments and their communities.

Skill updating makes fi refighters better responders and keeps them safer, as well.” The Fire Safety Account was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 2006. It is funded by a fi re-safety surcharge on all homeowner and certain commercial insurance policies in Minnesota. The Fire Safety Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety on use of the funding. Steve Flaherty, Grand Rapids fire chief and director of Mesabi Range Community and Technical College (MRCTC) Fire Training Program, said that many departments are using the grant money for basic

fi refighter training. Others are able to reinforce basic skills with Firefighter II, auto extrication, water rescue and other high-level classes. Grants must be claimed through a reimbursement process by June 3 0, 2 012. The amount of each grant is based on two factors – the amount of money allocated to MBFTE by Minnesota’s Fire Safety Account and the number of fi refighters in each department. This year, the per-fi refi ghter rate is $101.85. The allotment process helps eliminate the training budget disparity between larger, better-funded departments and those in cities and towns with smaller budgets.
